@SilverDon I can relate. I also enjoy the new mint catalogues like a kid at Christmas.

Looks like Perth Mint "returned the fight" to us. No need to go to the Perth Mint website, all the best have been brought by "The Coin Shoppe". **Alice in Wonderland - 2 coins
**The Star Trek - 2 single coins and the set.well, the prices similar to RCM's, but the themes and the mintage. Nor the same animals, neither overpriced 5oz's, but really fresh themes for affordable price (are you "Baby Raccoon" or Hero from Deep Space Nine? The answer is clear  ) Added:about Alice coin : same as time running out, the coins stock depleted fast, smart people buying. Btw, people forgot, that this is isn't first watch/coin - the first issued in 2011, for.....yes, again "Alice in Wonderland" designers have no imagination for more then more fancy remake.

offered in July, but starts in November: new "Mythical Realms of Haida" series by RCM.What to tell here? RCM doesn't learn and wants more money. Good theme, not bad designs, extremely limited mintage (50 and 1500), but the prices (!): $12.000 for each gold coin $550 for each silver (5oz) coin To put gold aside (with the 50 mintage they will be sold out), but why not to strike Silver 1oz series, priced $100 per coin with 1.500 mintage... |

 Silveroid Though the design is attractive - but 500$+ is way too much. I get the US ATB 5oz for 149US$ so 3 coins the same price!! Obviously, mintage has its price but not triple.... for me a no go  |

The 50 cent big coin appears to be well done and likely to be quite desirable for those who covet coat of arms coins - the detail is blown up nicely -
For myself I really liked the big circulation coins -
The 10 cent coin was superb - nice high relief and fantastic shades of gold plating plus nice to see the small bluenose dime big and bold - never seen before-
Big coin series was well done
I would likely rank as follows as best of bunch
1st - 10 cents
2nd - 5 cents - yes lots of beavers of late but again size matters here
3rd - 25 cents - nicely pulled off
4th - 50 cents - great detail
5th - loonie-
Followed by twonie

Not RCM, but very close RM : "Refreshed" George and Dragon silver coin. Previous one, from 2013, is the "hit". Was total miss not to order it. With its 10.000 mintage, very hard to find on the secondary market - serious collectors bought them all (luckily, inexpensive 1/2oz version available). And now, new coin issued, but with the 7.500 mintage (of limited edition presentation). http://www.royalmint.com/shop/Princ...r_Proof_Coin |

You can buy it from RCM without subscription too. And for the same price. Am I missing something? |

There were probably very few subscribers to the series, so the RCM decided to sell them individually. Aboriginal theme coins never sell vey well. Look at the Moon Mask sets; still not sold out after 4 months. |

Native theme coins may not sell out quickly but they have a solid following of loyal collectors - moon masks on the verge of selling out 95%+ sold and most sold directly from the mint-
This new series not as appealing IMO-and pricey but should still do sufficiently well...

And if I may add - Moon masks design gotta be considered coin series of the year thus far -

It was said on "other forum", while exactly wanted to post couple of lines here:
the recent story (very recommend to take a look) with the Error / re-called stamps (people got entire sealed blocks of them, and resell for really big money - hundreds of $$ single FDC ) makes me wish more errors with NCLT coins...
